Undergraduate Studies Committee Petition

The Undergraduate Studies Committee (UGSC) is comprised of faculty members from the Grossman School of Business who are charged with reviewing and evaluating student requests for exceptions, waivers or changes to their business curriculum requirements. Academic requirements for the Grossman School of Business are listed and defined in the University of Vermont catalogue: catalogue.uvm.edu.

A student is subject to the requirements in place for the catalogue year in which s/he entered UVM as a matriculating degree student, which may not be the current catalogue. Remember to check the catalogue archives link for the appropriate catalogue year. The student handbook also lists the academic requirements (pdf version can be found at: www.uvm.edu/business).

All petitions to the Undergraduate Studies Committee need to be made in writing using the form below. A student who plans to petition the Undergraduate Studies Committee should meet with his/her faculty advisor or an advisor in Student Services prior to sending the petition. There are certain circumstances where a petition may not be needed and other situations where a requirement cannot be waived by the Undergraduate Studies Committee.

The Committee meets on a bi-monthly basis during the academic year. The schedule for the fall 2016 semester is outlined below. Petitions are due by noon on the Monday prior to the respective meeting date. Petition decisions are emailed directly to student's UVM email address within one week of the petition meeting.
